embarrasing scar .... what can i do?!


Question: Embarrasing scar .... what can i do?
about 2 years ago i got a large birthmark removed. it was very dark and embarrasing when i wore a bathing suit. it was about 2 1/2 inches long and maybe half an inch or an inch wide . kind of like this..
(____) . i use mederma but not consistently because i forget alot and it didn't seem to be working that well. after my surgery about a month later it got infected and the stitches ripped open. so basically my scar is the same size as my birthmark was, not just a line like it should be. the problem and embarrasing part it that it is on my buttcheek!!! it is so embarrasing and when me and my boyfriend are ever naked i make sure that he cant see it but.. what can i take or do to make it go away?? will it ever get lighter and blend to skin color? will it take months? years? or will it ever?

Answers:

Mederma has to be used 3-4 times a day for 8 weeks to start seeing results. It will take a while. You could probably also use a vitamin E cream or coco butter. Those are good for scars and stretch marks. Anything you use on a scar will take quite a while to see results. Keep it up and it will help at least some.



If the stitches ripped, you should get it re-stitched!

Happened to me



There are supposed to be oils that claim to reduce scars biooil is one, i suppose it's worth a try.



see a plastic surgeon
